i've been reading reviews about lilo & stitch because i've been intrigued by the trailers and i want to see if i really should bother seeing it while michael is here. and i must say, even the bad reviews don't make me not want to see it, mostly because the bad reviews are lamenting the supposed loss of qualities i disliked during the "golden age" of disney animation, films centered on dumb songs where the goal of the cute petite women was to find someone to marry.
i've been much more able to identify with the "recent" disney pictures, like mulan, atlantis, and even the emperor's new clothes. these are films where the central conflict is solved by the main character(s) and not by the cute sidekicks, and the focus is not on a romantic relationship. so i'm still hopeful. i mean, i don't think i'll absolutely adore it (sounds like it has too much elvis for me), but i think i'll enjoy it. and lilo reminds me of the girls in lunch money. :)
